In related news, Barcelona has continued its successful start to the La Liga season despite facing a setback with goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen, who sustained a serious knee injury during their match against Villarreal. Barcelona triumphed with a 5-1 victory, marking their sixth consecutive win but lost Ter Stegen after he collapsed awkwardly while attempting to catch a cross.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta mentioned that the injury might be a torn ligament, and further tests are pending. Local reports indicated that Ter Stegen was transported to the hospital and later left in a wheelchair. Coach Hansi Flick expressed concern regarding the injury, stating the team would have to wait for further information while acknowledging the difficulty of the situation.
Following Ter Stegen’s injury, Iñaki Peña stepped in as the substitute goalkeeper. Real Madrid’s Thibaut Courtois also showed solidarity by conveying his well wishes for Ter Stegen’s recovery.
This injury adds to Barcelona’s list of absentees, which includes players like Dani Olmo, Frenkie de Jong, Gavi, and Ronald Araujo. In the game, Robert Lewandowski netted two goals in the first half, while Raphinha scored twice in the second half, with Pablo Torre adding another. Lewandowski is now the top scorer of the league with six goals in six matches.
Villarreal managed to score once through Ayoze Pérez, but they are now four points behind Barcelona, who leads La Liga with an impressive goal tally of 22-5 in their opening six games. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid faltered with a 1-1 draw against Rayo Vallecano, missing the opportunity to close in on Barcelona.
In other matches on Sunday, Getafe and Leganes ended in a 1-1 draw, while Athletic Bilbao secured a 3-1 win over Celta Vigo.
